This dissertation presents an experimental and numerical consideration of fluid instabilities formed by the interaction of a planar shock wave and a cylindrical column of gas seeded with glycol droplets. Seeding a fluid ...

This thesis presents an experimental study of fluid instabilities formed due to an oblique interatction of a shock wave with a cylindrical gas column seeded with glycol droplets. Two gases are injected into quiescent air ...

Human interaction with automation is ubiquitous, occurring in many cyberphysical systems such as cell phones, automobiles, and commercial aircraft. When interacting with such systems, human users are only exposed to a ...

The following thesis presents an experimental study observing and measuring the change in two of the key features of the Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability in a shock-accelerated, initially cylindrical gas column; that is, ...

This dissertation reports the observation of several series of resonances, for which both electrons are in excited states, in the photodetachment cross section of H-. These ‘P doubly-excited states interfere with the ...

Recent realizations concerning kinematic measurements of extra-planar layers in nearby galaxies may provide important clues to the origin of such layers and thereby the growth and evolution of galaxy disks. In particular, ...

In this chapter, we extend some recent results regarding the stability of continuous-time and discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems to the case where the system’s states are not available for measurement. We ...

Objectives: To evaluate the professional association-based management model in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro, as well as its impact on micropolitics, especially in the nursing team. The professional association-based ...

The purpose of this dissertation is to critically examine the emergence, maintenance, evolution, and dissemination of belief traditions in New Mexico and the United States that are most commonly associated with the UFO ...

This study aims to examine nineteenth-century Occidentalism on which little research has been done. Understanding how the East views the West is not just an end in itself, but it can help us better understand post-colonial ...

Context: Occupational Health and Safety legislation usually demands that a risk assessment be done prior to making an intervention. This assessment should: identify the risk, identify all affected by the hazard and ...

Background/Purpose: Mothering is a life-long role that requires significant time and energy (Donovan, VanLeit, Crowe, & Keefe, 2005). The amount and nature of time spent caring for adolescents with and without disabilities ...

This paper offers a general exploration of the federalist legal toolbox, as currently and potentially applicable to the Web. The paper begins with overviews of the nature of the Web, international law, the federalist system, ...
